Raghav's smirk - Page 2

It's that "deep inside sahi aadmi" that wants to marry her, for himself and not his amma. Can his "deep inside sahi aadmi" already come out? We're all dying to see him 😆

Agreed, he loses his power of reasoning and sense of justice when it comes to his amma and keerti. Emotionally, he's not as strong as Pallavi, who can uphold her moral compass even in the most distressful times. This girl needs a break from all her troubles and that sorry family (apart from Aai and Nikhil, who's a sweetheart).

deep inside sahi aadmi

🤣

woh bahar se bhi mujhe sahi aadmi hi lagta hai 😉

I think he has his heart buried so deep inside that he can't hear it's muffled cries.

For now, he's focused on winning his mother and sister over and having them live with him. And yeah, a Pallavi who rejects his proposal is far more interesting than a Telegu actress who is yet another chipku ladki. He may say he will stay away from her after the wedding but somehow the thrill of having her in his life is not lost on him either. He knows he will enjoy their banters and won't even need an excuse to fight with her.

I find it really cute, this little side of his, and I'm not even at that age where I'm hormonal. I'm a really stable lady, but his charm is disarming even for sakht ladki's 🤣

Did I mention when I started watching the show? That scene where he says thanks after she dresses him and saves his life. After she leaves, the camera lingers on his face and he had the most beautiful glint in his oceanic eyes! And a tiny tiny lopsided smile/or smirk? It was smile I think. I hope he makes it big, he's got untapped potential. He can play a gangster on some netflix show or a modern adaptation of The Godfather, I'd like to see him in Michael Corleone, I've always pictured him as this young, calculative don (obviously ITV makes it comical at times) but SAI can definitely pull it off with the right team!

I hope he makes it big too. He has the potential and for someone who's only been in the industry for a few years he's doing a great job. Just in this show itself you can see his growth. That entire dressing scene was beautifully executed and his expressions just conveyed his thoughts perfectly as Raghav. It could have become cringeworthy in another actor's hands but he never faltered for a second.

Hahaha Raghav’s dialogues crack me up. His assumptions and audacity does not infuriate me at all, rather I laugh at his sheer ignorance of his own feelings. He’s so hell bound on making amends with his family (but using a wrong approach) that he denies himself everything nice.

He is not going to stay out of her way, I’m sure of that. This guy is just a complicated character 😂 but deep inside he is a sahi aadmi (of course from outside too 🤣, no denying that 😆).

Exactly, there’s a level of comfort between the two actors so the scene came out as aesthetic, as much as he was shirtless and in extreme proximity with her, it was not cringy. I didn’t see it as romantic coz romance is between two conscious people. I saw it as a deeply moving scene, where he was so vulnerable, any she too was somehow vulnerable, I don’t know why, but she was. I think she’s never been in close proximity with another man. It was nicely shot, and Sai, with eyes closed, acted really well, you’d almost think he was really unconscious.

The thing is, we have seen his character sketch pretty clearly from day 1. He hasn't budged from that, so whether or not we agree with what he says or does, it is in line with what Raghav Rao would do. Yes, he is complex, and that's why I love him. The way his character has been written gives the CVs the freedom to focus on any layer they want and make something awesome out of it. There are endless tracks possible. I just wish they had done the same with Pallavi, but maybe they are reserving it for after the wedding, so that we learn more about her bit by bit. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic. 😆

Correct, it wasn't romance but a moment of tenderness and as you said vulnerability. Pallavi's inner emotions were clearly shown on her face, with no one around she didn't need to hide anything. When he woke up, seeing them both in that state made him even more self-conscious than she was. He is so used to having this veneer on him that being in that situation, low and weak, especially in front of someone he doesn't know very well, made him feel exposed. This is a guy who bashes tires (and people) for a living, often shirtless. Pallavi has already seen him like that before. However, Raghav feeling uncomfortable being shirtless at that moment was apt, because it was as if his shield was missing. He's always been a power dresser and his clothes create the aura as well as barrier that he wants around people. Being in close proximity with Pallavi, a person who always unnerves him already, as well as seeing her gentle side treat him with so much care undid something in him. I honestly believe he has never been the same since that incident; it was a turning point in their dynamic.

Pallavi, for her part, was doing this with a man she didn't even know well, supposedly her enemy, and was uncomfortable about the tenderness she felt towards him at that moment. She was hesitant at first but then decided to put that aside and focus on treating him. The way she gently held his head and then him, was just pure Pallavi, unmasked, uninhibited. When she saw the blood on his shoulder, something made me feel she had seen that before (Mandaar?) and it brought back bad memories, but she kept going. She didn't hesitate to wipe his forehead or feel conscious that she was so close to him. The best part is that she never made fun of his vulnerability in that scene or later. To her, in that moment Raghav was the most human she had ever seen him, a soft side she had never expected or thought possible.

It really is one of my most favorite scenes on the show because we get to see both of them without their facade, both of them soft, gentle, caring, and a little bit shy.

His is layered. Hers is plain. That's how I see it, she's a clear glass, he's a tinted one.

I absolutely love how you've put it down! This scene is one of my fav too coz they're both with each other in their purest and truest of nature.

I understand... plain is fine, but it can limit the storyline if it's not nuanced. Also, I don't see her being clear glass. She is holding so much inside. We don't get to see her emotions being portrayed, her loneliness, her longing, etc. She's always on the run, doing things for others. When she stills her mind, what does she think? There was only ever that scene when she was crying looking at Mandaar-related things, but even then Ayi and Rambo came in and changed the entire mood. I want it to go beyond that, because I can imagine she's got a lot pent up. Perhaps as she gets to know Raghav more and starts to get what family is really like, she might show more of her emotions and thought process.

I have a feeling we are going to get more of this. Buckle up! ❤️
